The Tempest

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life fades

to the outside,
while I'm looking in.
Side by side,
where the Sun and Moon
exist and embrace.


In the kiss of death,
pools of fools,
flowing over;
the end of Genesis.


New world orders,
retain no borders
against the fall of man.
Sins,

like grains of sand
blown through the eye
of the tempest.


Drowning deeds,
destroying greeds,
softened falls for the
inside looking
out.

    This is a very piercing piece, my Friend...one that shows no mercy in its jabbing at the heart, in its final thrust to the hilt. I've been on the outside looking in & on the inside looking out...& on that very fine border in between, swaying in the wind. Good luck in the contest, Scribe. Wanderer
